Oh my.

Look at that.

It seems my tiny Orchid wants to bloom.

Silly me has forgotten the color of the flowers so this will be interesting.

Baby Orchid.

One of the Orchids that belong to my mother has decided that it wanted to be a parent. I've read about this, apparently it's something that mostly happens when the plant feels that it's in danger och dying and want's to make sure it will carry on anyway.

In which case I'm not surprised that it happens to the Orchids here. I'm pretty sure the environment here isn't ideal for them. With the dust from the birds and the sometimes very randomized water supply. Anyhow, will be interesting to see if it survives into a plant or not. 

Very Random Picture Day.

This Lady belongs to my mother.

First Orchid I've seen with green in the flowers.

Plant care.

Yesterday I had some quality time with my plants. I'm so happy every time I check on them and see that they're still alive and doing ok. They're doing much better than last winter. I wonder if it is because I've put them all near the window and maybe the light from there together with the fixture is doing them good.

Last time many of them lost a lot of leafs. But probably much to do with me forgetting to water them properly. This winter is much better. I guess it's good to buy "special" plants that you care even more about. I have a few now who if they died, would make me so miserable. Only had one death so far.

That was a flower I had duplicates of so no worries there. I do hope the remaining one stays alive tho. But now, it's tea time. My room smells of Geraniums and dirt. Nice. And I have a big cup of tea and cupcakes that are waiting for me. It's a good day.

Poor baby.

I have a cute mini Orchid here that has been living with my mothers Orchids in the living room. I got it last Christmas (2011) from my granny. It's been doing quite well up until a little over a week ago.

I noticed that the leafs looked a bit funny and wrinkly. I picked her up and apparently she's lost almost all of her roots. There's just a 1 cm small fresh root still alive. Most likely she's had a bit too much water. That "pot" she's standing in is not very good in my opinion. Even though it has a hole in the bottom, water has a habit of not draining out of it properly. If I get her to survive, I'll find her a better one asap. Poor little one...

There's also a small update on the other tab up there. ( Points up on the page. ) "In My Window". ;)
